MYSTERY AT THE, '
BLAKELY HIGH SCHOOL
Unknown Fraternity to Select Mem
bers.
———
Mystery again pervades the campus
|of the Blakely high school, for time
j draws near for the annual selection
of members for that unknown frater
nity. Judging from the paßt, the
members v\ ill be chosen from the
present junior class. Just how many
is also uncertain. In 1921 there
there were seven, in 1922 six, and
in 1923 only five were chosen. Will
they pick only four this time or go
back to seven. As to when they
meet or what they do, nobody knows.
Tho student body will watch with
interest who are selected. It’s easy
to tell, for they have an open initia
tion. at least part of the way.
